Summary: How many pictures will it store?
Review: How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.
The SanDisk Cruzer with 256MB Secure Digital Memory, like most 256MB cards, will store on average 284 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 213 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 128 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 102 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 80 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.
I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

Summary: Doesn't work, crashes computer and has no support
Review: I bought the Cruzer for on-the-go backup of digital pictures (I take a lot of pictures when I travel and download them to the hard drive of my laptop). My laptop, a garden variety Dell Latitude C400 running Windows 2000, recognized the Cruzer at first, but then installation hung and the computer locked up. When I uninstalled everything and reinstalled, the whole operating system crashed and I had to reboot off the W2K CD and do a system repair. I sent 3 or 4 e-mails to Sandisk customer support over a three week perion and never received a response. Be wary of this one.

Summary: A few glitches, but it's ONE OF A KIND!
Review: I first saw the Cruzer in a retail store and was immediately blown away at the value. In this case, they were selling it at $10 bellow the price of the SD memory card itself. I kept wondering why anyone would buy the card by itself, when they could get the Cruzer with the same exact card included in the box.I've seen quite a few pocket sized memory drives out there, but thus far this was the only one I've ever seen that used regular removable memory cards. Prior to getting the Cruzer, I used to load things into my PDA via the cradle. I took it for granted that it was slow. I assumed it was the nature of the beast. When I popped the card into the Cruzer, it copied information so fast I couldn't believe it was actually working. I double checked... the files were there and intact and it was done in seconds, not minutes. That said, I have two issues. 1. I had to return my first Cruzer because it was from a bad batch of cards. SanDisk knew about the batch and was happy to replace it. 2. It's USB 1.1, not 2.0. I'm not sure if the card would work any faster under 2.0, but if it does, I would buy it. The bottom line: 1. If you were shopping for memory alone, buy this instead. The price is almost identical, and you'll get both the drive and the memory card in the same box. 2. If you were shopping for a pocket drive, consider this one. It's got plenty of memory, and you can remove it.

Summary: SD Card great, problems with Cruzer drive
Review: I use the SD card in my Palm (m505) with considerable success and am happy with it from a pure PDA expansion perspective. I have found that the Cruzer drive is unreliable, usually Windows sees it as "write only" which means the Cruzer is only useful to read what I can put on the card using the Palm. (I have checked the write protect slide on the card). This means I cannot use it to transport files, keep personal backups, etc. SanDisk tech support were very helpful and responsive, since I have been handed over to "customer relations", I have heard nothing in over a week.

Summary: Almost Unbelievable
Review: I was looking for the lowest price on a 256MB SD card for my new cell phone/Palm/MP3 player when I stumbled onto the Cruzer. What a great invention! I was able to download the songs I wanted almost instantly. With Windows XP, it took absolutely no setup...XP recognized it immediately. Total plug-n-play. Just today, I bought another SD card for the Cruzer to back up my important data. I am completely amazed by these little SD cards and how simple the Cruzer is to use. I was backing up my Quicken data to CD-RW, but now I'm just backing up to a SD card and sticking it with my receipts for safekeeping. This is a fantastic buy on a great product.

Summary: Too Small To Be So Good
Review: It is about the size of your thumb and weighs half as much. So, when I first saw it (and felt it - all two ounces of it), I didn't give this much hope. But, like most SanDisk products, it is great. Setting it up requires no more computer skills than being able to pop it into a USB port. And, that's it! All set and raring to go. The 256 holds the data that could fit on approximately 170 floppy disks. And when you take into consideration the cost, the size and the convenience, this baby is worth every cent. So, if you need to have an Iomega Zip (they still crank out the 256) and want the added bother of power cords and space to put the drive, then go that way. But if you want something that is light, portable and works like a charm - this is the only way to go.

Summary: It does exactly what it says it does!
Review: It's like a tiny USB floppy drive, except it stores up to 256MB of stuff at a time. Great for moving files from one machine to another, I also end up using it as an SD card to USB adapter for the SD card I use in my Palm Tungsten. It works as advertised and is quite handy!

Summary: Basically 2 items in 1
Review: Pro: If you use Security Digital memory in your Digital Camara or PDA, then you're basically getting 2 items for the price of 1 package; you're getting a removable usb device as well as the expanded memory for your camara or PDA. Well hidden USB head, no worry of damage the head or losing the cap like other USB flash memory. Con: a little bulky. If you have front USB or extra unused USB slots pair, then you are in good shape, otherwise you will not be able to attach the head directly if the neighboring USB slot is being used - you need to use the extra cord that comes with the device which is inconvenient. With the SD memory so small compare to the whole device, I don't see why they can't make it a lot smaller. [Poor quality] carrying case. Very poor, ... they should just forgo the case all together. Overall, it's a great device, for those of you who need SD memory and USB flash memory, this is 2 birds in 1 stone.
